In an effort to address many of the critical issues facing American Supply Association members in the codes and standards arena, the association is in the process of creating a Codes and Standards Committee.

The committee will not only discuss and address the issues directly affecting members at their firms, but also across the industry as a whole. The scope of the Codes and Standards Committee is to review and discuss plumbing, HVAC, hydronics and PVF codes as well as standards and regulatory activities. The committee will provide a report of underlying issues in the form of proposals or comments for appropriate committee consideration.

Committee members will participate in regular meetings via conference call or web conference. If required, Committee members will also conduct face-to-face meetings at ASA headquarters in Itasca, Ill. Individuals interested in participating on the ASA Codes and Standards Committee may contact Hugo Aguilar, P.E. at (323) 947-6060 or by email at haguilar@asa.net by Sept. 19.

Committee discussions will be open to all ASA members, however, only committee members will have a vote. Selected committee members will be contacted shortly after the Sept. 19 deadline.
